This is really a great idea. The number of issues surrounding the idea (customs, legal issues, etc.) are obvious, and the discussions around them reminds me of the questions thrown…

Beijing Love Story (北京爱情故事). Actually 39 episodes. Don't have a great reason why I chose it other than that it was really popular at the time, and I felt it would cover general day…
